Cell Membrane
regulates and controls what enters or leaves the cell

phospholipid bilayer
a double layer of phospholipid molecules that form membranes in cells

Nucleus
Controls all cell activities and protein production. Contains the DNA and nucleolus.

Cytoplasm
Cell liquid in which chemical reactions occur. Holds and cushions the organelles.

Mitochondria
Converts glucose into ATP (energy a cell can use) in the process of cellular respiration.

Cell/Plasma/Lipid Membrane
A double-layered lipid membrane that surrounds the cell. Regulates what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell Wall
Rigid external layer of a plant cell (cellulose), bacteria (glycoproteins), or fungi (chitin) that is outside the cell membrane.

Chloroplast
Converts light energy into glucose in the process of photosynthesis. Contains chlorophyll giving plants their green color.

Endoplasmic Reticulum
Passageways where compounds are manufactured, processed, and transported.

Golgi Apparatus/Body/Complex
Collects, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids made by the E.R.

Prokaryote
Unicellular. Lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Has ribosomes.

Eukaryote
Unicellular or multicellular. Contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Has ribosomes.

Lysosome
Contains digestive enzymes to breakdown food and wastes. Involved in apoptosis.

Nucleolus
Synthesizes ribosomes. Found in the nucleus.

Vesicle
Small package of nutrients, proteins, wastes, or water created by the golgi.

Cell
The basic unit of all living things. The smallest unit of life.

Organism
A complete living thing

Ribosome
Synthesizes proteins. Mostly found on the rough E.R. but can also be in the cytoplasm.

Multi-cellular
Made of more than one cell.

Nuclear membrane/envelope
Surrounds the nucleolus and DNA. Controls what enters and leaves the nucleus.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes lipids for use in the cell membrane and other parts of the cell.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Contains most of the cells ribosomes which synthesize proteins.

Unicellular
Made of 1 cell.

Cilia
Small hairs on a cells surface that wave back and forth allowing the cell to move.

Flagella
A whip-like structure on a cell that 'whips' back and forth allowing the cell to move (e.g. sperm cell).

Centriole
Helps align chromosomes during cell division (animal cells only).

Microtubules/Microfilaments
Small, thin proteins that help support and give structure to a cell. A cells cytoskeleton.

Plant Cell
1 large vacuole.
Chloroplasts
Cell wall (cellulose)

Animal Cell
Many small vacuoles
Cell membrane only
Centrioles
Lysosomes

Vacuole
Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates

cell theory
idea that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and new cells are produced from existing cells
Nucleoid
A dense region of DNA in a prokaryotic cell.

DNA
A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes.

Bacteria Cell
prokaryotic, contains no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles
